12/04/09 - On behalf of the Anoai Family and front office of WXW C4
it is our sad duty to announce that earlier today, December 4th, we lost
another member of not only our wrestling family, but immediate family.

Eki "Umaga" Fatu passed away today in Houston at the age of 36.
While we mourn the passing of Eki, we also remember all the good times
that we were able to share with him and the smiles on the millions of fans
faces around the world when he walked to the ring to do what he loved
most: wrestle.

During this difficult time, we please ask for the fans and the press
to respect the privacy of his family during this tough time. When there is
more information to be made public, his family will do so. The worst thing
that could happen would be to have false information about this horrible
situation out there, only to make the situation even worse.

We'd like to thank everyone for their sympathy and prayers and ask
that everyone celebrate the life of Eki Fatu.
